How did you hear of the Fourth Way?

I think I first heard the phrase 'the 4th Way' in the 1950's in the English newspaper the Daily Express which carried a column sniping at anything in the news that was unusual/different. Being a 'polarity responder' I kept it in mind for many years that I would sooner or later find out about the 4th Way. Twenty years later rummaging in a second-hand bookshop I came quite by chance across the book by that name. It didn't disappoint!

What would you like to learn?

Other ways of accelerating taking on board the learning of the 4th Way to add to the stock I already have... How to share what I have productively with others...

About Me:

Devoted to practical applications of 4th Way teachings...
Believe firmly that the 4th Way is for those who think THERE MUST BE SOMETHING MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS...
When JGB died he was apparently working on quicker ways to teach the Work; I believe there are such ways.
I teach Enneagram Studies taking people into 4th Way ideas in a practical way that has enabled them to build robust coaching practice.
I am fanatical about Multiple-I's
Write poems, novels, miscellanies...
Compose music...
Paint...
And above all I've only in the last four years discovered and nurtured in myself a very strong Motorcycle-maniac-I

What's your spiritual base?

As always they are welcome.

As I said before, I'm not attached to the word and positively willing to change it if you've got a suggestion for something to take it's place. I think I did try idiots and NING wouldn't allow it saying there was already a group using that name. Alas, I'm with Shakespeare. Much ado about nothing.
